For years, whenever I’ve heard the word righteous, I’ve thought of surfers and skateboarders and other people who seemed cool when they said, “That’s righteous, dude!”.
But then I was reading Barry Johnson’s book about managing polarities vs solving problems and it was written like this: RIGHTeous.
In the world of cause and mission, being right has currency. Being right doesn’t give you the right to be righteous. It gives you an opportunity to be humble.
